Default Help me Darth your my only hope lol,

Hey this gave me a lot of insight into my dumb 2003 neon. I have the same problem, sometimes my car wont start either(usually after a drive, for instance after stopping at the grocery store). First I checked my alternator, took them off when the car was on and it turend off, I thought bad alt. Changed it, same problem. Then I changed the battery and the battery terminals. Still same problem. Now I was thinking maybe it doesnt start when it heats up for some reason. But from your posts you were thinking wiring. I dont have the check engine light on though. What do you think? Thanks so much

Is there a missing link? What's "this same problem?"

Your camshaft sensor has tested fine?

thanks, that sounds like it could be a culprit, Ill go buy a multimeter. How many amps/volts should a good camshaft read anyways? thanks again

Should be between 4.5 and 5.5V according to the shop manual.

Okay, my 2003 dodge neon se 2.0 stalled and the oil light flashes. It will not start. Have replaced coil pack, plugs and oil pressure switch. Is there something i'm missing? Is it possible the timing is off and not the belt being broken? Please help
